GO Clubbing In Glasgow |
|

|
 |
Glasgow is the place to be seen among Scotland’s
die hard clubbers as the city has a huge selection of
nightclubs offering dance, hip hop, garage and great cheesy
music. Reputedly Scotland's largest nightclub, Archaos [map] on Queen Street is a mammoth place with three floors and designer décor. At the very top of the building, Glasgow's rich and famous hang out in the VIP Sky Bar, while the rabble dance the night away to house mix and club tracks on the other floors. The dress code is fairly smart, although you can get away with trainers on Thursdays, which is the venue's student night, that comes complete with party anthems and indie classics. One of the city’s finest nightclubs and a favourite among serious clubbers is The Arches [map] on Midland Street, which is located in converted railway arches under Central Station. Partygoers make the most of the monthly big name residencies on Friday and Saturday, including Colours, Pressure and Inside Out, as well as the regular influx of guest DJs. If you’re looking for a club that’s packed to bursting with trendy people, head to Babaza [map] on Royal Exchange, a hip basement bar and club that regularly attracts famous footballers and TV presenters. Club nights kick off on Wednesdays with an immensely popular blend of garage, house and R&B. Thursdays throw a bit of trance into the mix, and the rest of the weekend is more of the same with classic hip hop, soul and funk. For more celeb-spotting why not try The Tunnel [map], one of Glasgow's top night spots with guest DJ's from Ministry of Sound and Cream making regular appearances. There are three bars, including a chill out area, and a VIP lounge complete with pool table where the likes of Brad Pitt, Celine Dion, and Kylie Minogue have all enjoyed a night out. To sample a wide range of club tunes in one venue, why not pay a visit to the Velvet Rooms [map], which are hidden amongst Sauchiehall Street's shopfronts. The dance floor upstairs usually has a mix of club classics, garage, house and a bit of indie, while downstairs features soul, R&B, funk and hip hop, ensuring this venue always has a great atmosphere. Located close to Sauchiehall Street is Alaska [map], which offers a good variety of music, from soul to upbeat dance, house and techno. A popular haunt for students and chart-music lovers is Fury Murry’s [map], a wee club down by the River Clyde, which plays plenty of cheesy tunes and a few indie anthems. In addition to the popular music there are plenty of drinks promotions to make this a cheap night out so it’s no wonder that it's always packed. For classic 70s and 80s music head to Media [map] on Renfield Street, which plays tunes by the likes of Abba, Spandau Ballet, Wham, Duran Duran and Kylie Minogue all night long. Most of the clientele are old enough to remember the anthems from school discos, and the atmosphere is both friendly and tolerant of authentic period dancing!
